I couldnt stand living alone.

I live with DH, our best friend, my daughter, 2 cats, 1 baby turtle, and I had 5 fish, but they all died just last night due to my daughter being VERY VERY naughty. (long story)

I live with my boyfriend and 4 cats.

It use to be just me, my guinea pig and Luna though! Somedays I miss living by myself...bills were a lot less, especially the grocery. B eats like a horse!

Just me and the cats here. Have had 2 housemates, and while it was nice to come home and have some company, I ended up paying for loads of things, as with both housemates I was the only one earning decent money. So when teh second housemate left, I decided to start fostering, and dont regret it at all. In fact, I am so set in my ways that I dont know what will happen if I find a fella and we want to live together!!

I have lived with my parents and I do some chores in the house and cut the lawn. I don't plan to marry and have kids as I want to take care of my parents when they are older.

I live with dh and 3 kids. And 3 housecats, one in and out cat, and a dog. I have never lived alone. I went from my parents house, to married and having babies, to divorced and back with my parents with the kids in tow. I had about 2 months when the kids lived with their Dad and I had just bought a new house. (Moved out of state, and the kids had to stay with him to finish school.)

My kids and cats fill my life...if I didn't have them, I'm sure I would be at someone else's house pestering their kids! LOL!

I think it is hard to feel "alone" with a kitty. It may be a more solitary existence than mine, but kitties are such great companions!

Where my cats are
The only times I've lived alone is when DH had gone off on deployments. For the last one though we had gotten the fish and our two kitty babies!

I don't live alone, because I have 4 kitties living with me, but THANK GOD, I don't live with any people. The only way I could see myself sharing a place to live with people would be if it were a HUGE house, with a big divider, seperate kitchens, seperate bathrooms, seperate living rooms and/or sitting rooms, and seperate entrances.

I live with my husband and cat. I did live "alone" (i.e., with furry friends) for a while before we got married, and for about a year while he was working in another city, and we only saw each other on weekends. The roughest part of that year was that he had our then cat, as I usually went to visit him, since I had Fridays off, and he didn't.

I wish so much that I lived alone. Instead I have my ex boyfriend as a roommate. So much fun!
Zissou and I are moving in August and I don't know if I want a roomie or not. I'm probably going to rent a 2-bedroom in my name only and then sublet the second bedroom. That way if it goes downhill they have to move out, not me!

It's hard to think of myself as living alone when my four funny and furry creatures run the house!


Even though I have my own apartment, I'm pretty close to my downstairs neighbor since we're part of the same religious community. Thank goodness we're allowed to live alone (it's not like that in all communities). I'm so independent and set in my ways, I wouldn't make a good roommate.

IA. If you need me, just meow..
I lived with my mom and sister, then with a friend, then with my ex-husband, then on my own, then with my current husband and four cats. The way it is now, I wouldn't change for the world! I love it the way it is! I've never been happier!
